I don’t like Young?  You got all that from my quote? Jfc, this board.

I got that from your pre draft comments when you were constantly talking about how his size doesn’t fit the models you were looking at. It’s no big deal if you were against drafting him. There is a fair point to be made against it, but the pick has been made and there is no need to keep raining on the parade. That’s all.

And if you actually paid attention, I jumped on Young bandwagon weeks before he was drafted when I realized he was likely the pick.  Feel free to go back and research.

The most recent one comparing him to Baker with a “same poo different year” comment doesn’t seem to align with that, but I’ll take your word on it. If I had you pegged wrong then I apologize.  Like I said nothing wrong with being against it before the draft, I preferred Stroud throughout most of it.

The whole comment was about no pads.   CamWhoaaCam took the whole thing out of context to what feeds his own little narrative and people followed along.

All good.  I’m all in on Bryce Young train.  I trust no reports from minicamp or summer camp until the pads go on.  That’s when tempers rise and folks jobs are on the line and many minicamp warriors simply vanish.

He ain’t wrong. I hope it’s not an issue, but it very well could be a huge one. Only time will tell.  

I mean, he is wrong if the implication is that it’s more of an issue than any other QB.  A couple batted balls in shorts is not indicative of anything. I imagine Brock Ossweiler (all like 6’7 of him) had a few himself, especially in his rookie year.  The issue with Young’s size has always been durability rather than height and batted balls.  Reich and others have already addressed how much easier it is for that to happen in the sort of practices they’ve been able to run so far.

It's a valid topic and it's not going away. People shouldn't be so sensitive about it.

The reason media is sure to mention it is because it's a hot topic. I tried to search for batted balls here to see how much it was mentioned last camp for Mayfield. I gave up paging through results and barely got back to Memorial day.

On a more serious note, Blackshear looked good in his limited snaps last year. Hope he gets more opportunities this year. Doesn’t help he’s not exactly complimentary to Sanders’ running style though. 

Worth a roster spot on ST's though. He was my bottom of the roster man-crush last year.

    • No it isn't. 😅😅😅 If someone says he can't throw X many yards because he didn't do it last year, but he threw it X plus 10 yards in college, that shows he can. He may not have done it in Carolina, but that doesn't mean he can't do it. There is a real possibility that there were extenuating circumstances. These definitive but inaccurate statements are also known as hot takes or gross exaggerations.
    • Thanks for posting this. I don’t know how many of you guys also visit the Reddit panther sub, but damn Mingo catches so much poo in there, and Bryce gets every excuse.    Seems like inconsistent logic to me that Bryce gets a pass for the team dysfunction, but Mingo is just a bust.   I saw inconsistent tape from Mingo, but he had plenty of examples of good route running…showing me he can do it.   He was a rookie, and naturally was inconsistent with it. I don’t think we are dealing with Dwayne Jarrett here. I look forward to seeing him develop more consistency…and I hope Bryce can get him the ball if he does. 
    • my thing is, we have seen lots of good QBs play behind really bad OLs at times.  And yes, bad OLs impact everything.  But those good QBs, still have lots of moments showing how good they are behind bad OLs.  And frankly, a bad OL has never made any of them what we were last year.   Heck, many of them go to the playoffs with bad OL play.   That's my Bryce issue.  He didn't have really any moments that a #1 overall pick should of had.  Bad OL play included.     But I concede, Bryce was setup to fail.  And fail he did.  But if he was special, I still think that still has it's moments no matter what.
